TwisTonFire - Map Improvements

Newest Additions

TwisTonFire - Map Improvements

Make the vanilla World Map cleaner, more flexible, and more comfortable to use.

Resize symbols, scale the complete symbol interface, mix additional colors, draw directly on the map, create dedicated sketch paper, and safely manage your map markings.

The mod uses focused patch-style changes wherever possible instead of replacing complete vanilla files.

Features

Improved Map Symbols Interface

• Cleaner Map Symbols layout with a more organized and responsive interface.
• Map Symbol Size Slider for quickly changing the size of placed map symbols.
• Persistent symbol size: the mod remembers your last selected size.
• Custom default size: save your preferred symbol size and restore it with the Reset button.
• Complete UI Scale setting: resize the entire Map Symbols interface from 75% to 140%.
• Separate UI Scale window with Save and Reset controls.
• Custom-font safe layout that adapts to larger fonts and longer translations.

More Colors and Writing Tools

• Additional mixed colors for map symbols and map notes:
• [list]
• Yellow
• Purple
• Cyan
• Orange
• Pink

[*]Consistent color selection between the Map Symbols menu and the Add/Edit Note window.

[*]Vanilla-friendly pen requirements: regular colors require their matching pen.

[*]Mixed colors require both matching pens. For example, purple requires a red and blue pen.

[*]Improved writing-tool support for compatible modded pens, markers, crayons, and other items using the proper writing tags. [/list]

Additional Map Symbols

Seven new animal location symbols are included:

• Chicken
• Cow
• Pig
• Rabbit
• Sheep
• Turkey
• Raccoon

Sketch Tools

Draw directly on the World Map using a movable Sketch Tools panel.

• Freehand Tool for drawing naturally with your mouse.
• Straight Line Tool for creating clean and precise lines.
• Brush Erase Tool for removing only the sketch marks touched by the eraser.
• Adjustable Stroke Size for thinner or thicker markings.
• Adjustable Stroke Density for changing the spacing and smoothness of your strokes.
• Map color integration: sketches use the currently selected Map Symbols color.
• Writing-tool requirements: drawing requires a pen, pencil, or compatible writing tool.
• Eraser requirement: removing sketch marks requires an eraser.
• Undo and Redo for up to 20 sketch actions.
• Accurate cursor preview that matches the actual size and visibility of the placed sketch marks.
• Zoom-based sketch visibility: sketch marks can automatically disappear when the map is zoomed out.
• Adjustable visibility threshold through the native Mod Options menu.
• Performance-aware drawing that automatically adjusts stroke spacing on maps containing very large numbers of sketch marks.

Persistent and Safe Sketch Tools UI

• The Sketch Tools panel remembers its position between game sessions.
• The panel automatically adapts to custom fonts and longer translations.
• Long button labels are safely shortened instead of breaking the UI.
• The panel is clamped to the visible screen and cannot be permanently moved outside the display.

Sketch Paper Map

Prepare a dedicated Sketch Paper Map from a regular Sheet of Paper.

This provides a clean paper surface that can be used for drawings, plans, routes, notes, or anything else you want to sketch without using the main World Map.

Improved Map Reset Options

The vanilla map reset action now opens a safer selection menu.

Choose exactly what should be removed:

• Remove Sketch Marks
• Removes only markings created with the Map Improvements Sketch Tools.
• Remove Player Symbols
• Removes player-created map symbols and notes while keeping explored map memory.
• Full Map Reset
• Removes player-created symbols and resets the complete explored map memory, matching the original vanilla action.

Each destructive action includes a separate confirmation window to prevent accidental map deletion.

Translations

Translation files are included for 27 languages:

Arabic, Catalan, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, and Ukrainian.

Compatibility

This mod is compatible with mods that add additional map symbols.

Do not combine it with another mod that adds its own Map Symbol Size Slider.

Map Improvements already contains its own localized and persistent Symbol Size Slider and changes the surrounding symbol interface layout.
